From Ashy To Classy: What A Difference A Stylist Makes!!!!



You all loved my previous post exposing the plastic surgery that the top celebrity females in the game had undergone since they became the superstars that they are now: From Ashy to Classy: Before And After Pics of Some of The Top Females in The Game .  The before and after pics exposed the sometimes subtle and not so subtle differences that were achieved through plastic surgery and just how celebs were able to improve their physical features through time and money.

This time, I want to display how the style game of your favorite female celebs has improved over the years, most likely with the help of a celebrity stylist.  A celebrity stylist is the new good luck charm for any serious celeb.  If you think Rihanna, BeyoncĂ© or Kim Kardashian are dressing themselves, then you're sadly mistaken.  A true stylist can take the personal style, preferences and body type of a celeb and make them shine with the right amount of tailoring, attention to detail and an eye for flare that can make or break a starlet's career.  In Hollywood, its all about the image so lets take a look through the following pictorial and see just how far some of the top and burgeoning celeb females in the game have come:

La La Vasquez
I start off with La La because she has come so far.  Not only physically, but career-wise.  She went from just a local DJ on the radio, hosting step shows and community events to producing her own reality shows, hosting on red carpet events and hosting reality show reunions for VH1.  So lets see some of her before and after pics...from ASHY to CLASSY:
Hair and makeup is all wrong
Bathing suit is boring and the pose needs work

The hair is all wrong and she looks homely


You can clearly see that La La has been upgraded. 
She got rid of the awful color and highlights, got a new makeup artist
And hired a stylist...BRAVO! She looks great.
Instant CELEBRITY STARLET status...
Serena Williams
Serena is my 2nd favorite stylist upgrade.  Lets just say female that athletes are not really known for their style or fashion sense and Serena and her sister Venus have been on Worst Dressed Lists since they came in the game with the beads on the ends of their braids.  Now they're all grown up, living their lives and enjoying the sensuality and freedom of womanhood.  Check out some of her before and after pics below:
 
Just Dreadful!

No words!
Total 180, right? the hair and makeup is flawless, the gown is beautiful and flattering
Way to go Serena.  There is no way she went from Ashy to Classy on her own.
Ciara
Ciara is one of my favorite divas in the game.  Not only is her body amazing, but she has slowly won the hearts of top fashion designers like Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs as she has recently navigated her way from music to fashion to modeling.  But check out how she used to look....a stylist was definitely in order:  
Golden goodies?
    
The hair is making me dizzy!

  
Big Difference!
Rihanna
Rihanna is probably one of my favorite stylist upgrades of all time.  When she first bust onto the scene with her island rhythms and youthful spirit, she was young, inexperienced and stuck in the typical cookie-cutter tomboy style.  However, with her second album, a new stylist and a new attitude, she has taken the music and fashion world by storm with her avant garde looks as well as her ability to transform from daring, to chic, to classic to retro.  Take a look at how she looked when she stepped onto the scene:
  
Tomboy style

A lil' homely!
 
NOW....a Red Carpet DIVA!!!!
So you see my friends, some of your favorite fashionistas of today have come a long way!!!!  With the help of a stylist, anyone can go from Ashy to Classy in a matter of minutes.  Now granted, most of us don't have the money to afford a personal stylist, but its never too late to become your own personal stylist.  Is it time to upgrade your look?  Do you want a new hairstyle with more pizazz and color?  Have you been dying to try some new and funky looks?  Well, I say dare to be fly and start playing with new looks, makeup, styles, etc.  If you stick to what works for you, stay creative and individualistic, you can't go wrong.  Remember, fashion is all about a personal expression.  So let the celebs leave their personal expressions up to the stylists and DO YOU!

WEIGH IN
What do you think about the before and after looks?
Would you hire a stylist if you could afford one?
Which celeb's stylist would you go for based on these looks for yourself?
